A wicket had fallen, that of the other opener, who was run out for 27 off 30 balls, but the result was never in doubt. Ronit More, the medium-fast bowler, is the most expensive bowler for Mangalore United, with 28 off his two overs. Not Out: Mohammad Taha 58 (43), Nitin Bhille 16 (13)
Live Cricket Score Hubli Tigers 50/0 | Overs 7 (Target 102): The Tigers have begun their chase aggressively, with frequent boundaries in the initial overs. Mohammad Taha and KB Pawan have struck eight fours between them, with Taha hitting six of them. Needing just 54 more runs to win in 13 overs, this seems to be a one-sided eliminator. Batting: KB Pawan 16 (16), Mohammed Taha 28 (20)

Dikshanshu Negi was the most successful bowler, with three wickets for 13 runs in three overs. Not Out: Moinuddin 4 (2)
Live Cricket Score Mangalore United 51/3 | Overs 11: United have got off to a sow and shaky start ion the eliminator, with three wickets having already fallen within the first 11overs. Only one batsman so far, KC Avinash, who is unbeaten, has scoed runs at a strike-rate of more than 100. Laxman Sivaramakrishnan, at the pitch report, said a score of about 140 will be a challenging total on the track, so the batting team still has a chance to make up for the sedate start. Batting: Ballal 10 (10), Avinash 16 (15)
